HOW GABAPIN NT 400MG TABLET WORKS
GABAPIN NT 400MG TABLET is a combination of Gabapentin and Nortriptyline. Gabapentin works by binding to the specific site on voltage-gated calcium channels, which in turn helps in relieving nerve pain. Nortriptyline works by increasing the levels of chemical messengers (serotonin and noradrenaline) that stop the movement of signals of pain in the brain. Together Gabapentin and Nortriptyline relieve neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).
